EARL T Tosrstoss —When the assistance of
hcit.bed. cannot be obtained, tomatoes may. be sue
cessfully started in pots or other suitable vessels;
in -a warm room. In this manner the maturation
of the fruit will be advanced a week or two, and
without involving any serious trouble or expense.
.1' While .the fruif remains green," says a recent
writer on the management of tomatoes, "I have
much accelerated the ripening by - removing the
large leaves froin dense bundles of fruit, and pla
cing - white hoards behind them, so as to reflect the
sun's rays strongly-upon them." With the same
view an English author of eminence recommends
tin.-
The British fruit raisers consider a good wall
.
for . fruit equal to an 'advance_ of six degrees to
vitards the equatsr. By Planting the tomato in
beds' under a= fence- brilliantly whitewashed or
painted white, thematuration of the fruit would
rto doubt be materially advinced. Frequent and
copious irrigation With 'soap soda; and cleanly cut
.tivation greatly facilitate the developments of
this fniit.. , ^".

' The °Mee Beggars.
The •most intense anzietyla beginning to be felt
for the fate of the office beggars from this city, who
are no* at Washington. The families'and. , anziens
friendi" , gerierally, of thesn pairiots, are getting un
easy, least something alarming , has occurred to pre
vent their return home ! There are nearly a dozen
hungry applicants for the Poet Office; about the
same number are applying for Military Store keeper;
do. do. the Pension Agency ; do. do. Collector of
the Port. All these offices are at present filled by
gentlemen in every respect as - well , '(if not better)
qualified to discharge the duties devolving upon
them, as the persons who are striving to obtain their
places. In the face of the oft-repeated declaration
of Gen. Taylor, that he had no fiiends to reward
and no enemies to punish—that he would be the
President of the people, and not of a party—these
cringing offiCe beggars, for the last three weeks,
have been dogging the old hero day and night, ask
ing for the removal of gentlemen, against whom the
tongue of slander has. not dared to utter a single
word of complaint—gentlemen whose only crime
consists in the tact that they do not belong to the fed
eral Whig or anti-war p.irth—the party whose lead
ers prayed that Gen. Taylor and his brave soldiers in
Mexico, might be welcomed with bloody hands to
hospitable graves! We strongly suspect that Pres
ident Taylor will dismiss some of the office beggars
from this region, without much ceremony; and the
sooner he does it the better it will be for his admin
istration.
Words of an honest Democrat
The article we copy below is front the Seneca
(0.) Advertiser, edited by JCIFIV G. Basset e, Esq
speaker of the House of Representatives, in the
Legislature of that State. We have enjoyed the
pleasure of Mr. Breslin's acquaintance (or years,
and have always found him to be a true and hon
eat Democrat. We may here remark, that w e
have on hand an immense number of articles from
Democratic papers in this and other States, en
dorsing our course in regard to the ten hour ques
tion and the rights of labor, vs - Web we shall pub-,
fish as soon as we can find room. The Democra
cy, at least, are right on thisimportant question.
The cotton manufacturers of Pittsburg have
been waging a fierce war against Mr. Harper.
Editor ot the Post, in that city, because he dated
to vindicate the rights of labor, and to defend a
few helpless children from the tyranny of their
employers. The origin of the controversy - 1 as
141 lows: The Legislature of Pennsylvania, in
March la , t, passed an act declaring that ten hours'
work in all cotton factories should be considered
a legal day's labor. The roanulacturers (with
the exception of the Star Factory proprietors,)
endeavored to evade this law, and determined to
compel their operatives n work as long a period
each day as they might please to command them.
To effect thin end, they stopped their factories, in
order to force the children and other operatives in
their em boy to sign a cataract, by which they
would forego and relinquish all claim to the.hanso
fit of the ...leo Attur.taWP l - Tilte operatives deter.
mined not to tined* tO this Contract, and struck
against the attempted injustice of the proprietors.
A public demonstration was had, in which some
proceedings occurred terlarkally offending against
.the provisionsof an ancient and obsolete law. The
offen'ders—principally boys and girls of from ten
to fifteen years of age—were ronvided of riot and
sent to jail I—imprisoned. because they had made
an effort to sustain a law passed by the Legista
tore of Pennsylvania! The Editor of the Post
fearlessly spoke out against this unholy persecu
tion, and boldly denounced the men who were
thus trampling upon the rights of labor in defiance
of law. For this manly and independent course,
he has been most fiercely assailed by the whole
league of Cotton Kings, (witb,a few noble excep.
lions, mentioned above,) and means the moat des
picable have been' resorted to, to break doWn the
press that dared to rase its'voice for the cause of
oppressed labor, and against The encroachments of
capital.
This is not the first time that oppression has
attempted to silence the thunders of an indeperi;
dent press. But persecution, as usual, instead of
crushing the object of its rage, has lopped off its
own bead--for since Ibis crusade against the Post
has commenced, the 'Editor states that his sub
ecription list has, increased atthe rate of fifty names
per day: A monster_meeting of all parties has
been held in the city; sustaining the course of the
Post, which is*also endorsed by some sixteen hun•
dred names in the columns of that paper. So
much for the efforts of a petty band of tyrants to
put down a fearless defender of the people's rights!
Wonder how long it will take them at this rate to
stifle him.

As an officer of the Company I seat a communi
cation to the Editor of the Dispatch explaining the
conduct of our member. on the night or We tiro to
L eona rd's board yard, whi c h h e
acknowledged the
receipt of, bin instead of giving it at length, as should
have bocce - done in justice to the Company, be took
a mean opportunity of just fying his condemns
charges of our attack on the property of Mr. Hutch
inson and others ; and rowdy conduct of the fire
men by cutting up tho communication, and so inter
larding it with taunting remarks, and his self guff
dent criticism as to destroy Its import.
His contemptible conduct previously is the only
condoet we could assign fur treating the Company
with such aograratcd injustice ---as it might take
from the cligiity of his character !!! to publish a
communication that would contradict his former as
sertions.
•
We take this opportunity of calling on him as It
gentleman to give tee coinetnnication verbatim. .-
Now,for thie Lgen t l e rafyitiarsirtruithao and that of lllllola i 4oo eralils Ise state—We will pay for the
damage done the steps, and will always be found to
represent the acts of the members in our Company
in such cases. As regards the shade trees, there was
no injury, whatever, done to any of them. Unless
those injured by runavroy drays, &c., be charged to
the firemen, and if the city authorities !would do
their duty, a great many shade trees that now en
cumber tbe narrow side walks would be 'removed,
with numerous other nuisances that incommode ma
ny of our narrow streets. Further, the assertions
of the Dispatch with regard to wantonly watering
Mr. Hutchinson,s bouts 121030 ; it IS contradicted
by Mr. Hutchinson himsel f —fur when when we call
ed to ascertain the amount of damage asserted to
have been done by the editor of a certain pendia pa.
per of the city, as well as by our communication,
thus giving the lie direct to the assumed authority co
the Dispatch. As Mr. Hutchinson tells us, he was
not aware that water had boleti thrown on his house
until ho saw it noticed in the Dispatch, and that his
property whatever, nor was his family disturbed.
We wonder that editdrs profeising to have some
information should make so little allowance for ac
cident, and the intrepid conduct of the youths that
to a great extent compoie the fire companies, who
rush recklessly to fires, regarding neither personal
danger nor consequent accidents.

of their qualification. They shall also appoint the
teachers of the 4 . Public High School," and fix and
regulate the course of study to be pursued in the said
school. They shall determine what books ofinstruc
tion shall be used in all the public schools of said
city. Tne said Controllers shall also provide one
school or more when necessary, for the separate edu
cation of the colored children, to be located ; in a
suitable situation, without reference to the bounds•
ries cif the Ward. .'
The following is the third section:
BC 1r EXACTED, That all the expenses incurred in
providing for said Public High School, shall be de
frayed by an uniform assessment of the same, on all
the property Dram city, taxable for school purposes,
the rate to be fixed annually by the Controllers.
The following substitute for the third section was
then offered by Mr. Totten, and aßer considerable
discussion, was adopted.
Be it Enacted—That hereafter all expenses incur
red by the public schools, and those authorised by
this act, except the cost of purchasing real estate,
and of erecting school houses in the wards, shall be
paid out of a common fund, raised by a uniform as
sessment of rate, upon all the property of the city
taxable fur school purposes.
Mr. Bighorn then offered the following amend
ment to Mr. Totten's substitute :
That the Directors of all the wards of the city,
aid the Comte,Dem shall meet in joint Convention
annually, on the first Monday of May, to determine
the rate per cent, to he anseased fot school purpos
es, and, that said schools be entitled to the same
prciporti toe of the annual appropriation of the State,
as if this act had not passed.
Pending the discumion of this amendment, a
motion ass made, and carried, to adjourn until
Thursday evening nest.
The Fourth. Section, which was hot acted upon %
is as (allows : •
That ihe ablve law shall be Wrinkled to a vote of
the citizens at a special election, to be held on the
first Tuesday of June nest, at which, those in favor
of this law, shall deposite their ballot in favor of a
Public High School, and the question shall be deter

ARNE,T ON Snorctow.—On Sunday evening, a
negro, just arrived • from Cincinnati, was heard to
make some observations, which led listeners to be
hove that a murder had been committed in Cincin
nati, on last Thursday night, and that he was con
cerned in it. Infrirmation was given to the Captain
of the Watch, who sent officers in search of the man
who so unwittingly told a had story on himself. He
was found, and another with him. Both wore put in
the lock-up, till a Telegraphic Dispatch :was receiv
ed from Cincinnattis4ting that no 'nuttier had been
committed. Thej:were then discharged. This wilt
teach folks to adhere , to truth, when strangers are
listeding—perhapatt may.
The stage accident Is likely to cause some
discussion-yet. There is a question of veracity in
volved ; for the witness before the Coroner's jury
testified to the bad conduct of the dri4r, as we are
informed. But the certificate of Mr. and Miss Mur-
ry seem satisfactory.
If the driver Wee not to blatite, tae-public should
knowit. If ho wag they - should keterit.
